Description

The Arducam B0251 MINI Camera Module integrates a high-performance 1/2.3-inch Sony IMX477 sensor into an ultra-compact form factor comparable to a Raspberry Pi V2 camera. This design prioritizes applications where payload and spatial constraints are paramount, such as aerial drones, mobile robots, and portable inspection devices. The module captures detailed 12.3-megapixel stills and video, providing the raw visual data necessary for advanced edge AI processing on NVIDIA’s Jetson platform.

Equipped with a manual-focus M12 mount lens featuring a 75-degree horizontal field of view, the camera maintains low distortion while delivering ultra-high-definition imagery. The integrated IR-cut filter ensures accurate color representation under visible light. Its connectivity is handled via flexible flat cables (FPC), allowing for easy integration into tight spaces within a Jetson-based system, making it a go-to solution for developers building compact, vision-enabled IoT and AIoT devices.

Key Features

  • High-resolution imaging with a 12.3MP Sony IMX477 back-illuminated sensor for superior low-light performance.
  • Ultra-compact and lightweight design (24x25mm, ~10g) minimizes system payload, ideal for aerial and mobile platforms.
  • M12 lens mount system allows for lens interchangeability and features a fixed, low-distortion lens with a 75° horizontal FoV.
  • Integrated IR-cut filter ensures true-to-life color accuracy for machine vision and recognition algorithms.
  • Includes necessary 15-pin to 22-pin and 22-pin to 22-pin FPC cables for direct connection to NVIDIA Jetson developer kits.
  • Manual focus adjustment provides fine control over the focal plane for specific application requirements.

Applications

  • UAV, Drone, and FPV camera systems for aerial photography and inspection.
  • Machine vision and robotic guidance for automation and pick-and-place systems.
  • AI-powered face recognition and people counting for smart security.
  • Automated optical inspection (AOI) and defect detection in manufacturing.
  • Compact vision input for mobile robots, AGVs, and educational AI kits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Arducam B0251 camera compatible with the original Jetson Nano Developer Kit?

Yes, the Arducam B0251 MINI camera module is fully compatible with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit using the included 15-pin to 22-pin FPC cable. You simply connect the cable between the camera's 15-pin connector and the 22-pin camera header on the Jetson Nano carrier board. Ensure your Jetson software is configured to recognize the IMX477 sensor, which is natively supported in latest JetPack SDK releases for computer vision and AI inference pipelines.

What is the procedure to mount and focus the M12 lens on this module?

The M12 lens is pre-mounted. Focusing is manual: gently rotate the lens barrel while viewing a live feed from the camera on your Jetson system until the image is sharp. Use a distant object for infinity focus or a close target for macro applications. The lens thread is standard M12 x 0.5, allowing it to be unscrewed and replaced with other M12 lenses of varying focal lengths if different fields of view are required for your specific robotics or inspection project.

Can I use this 12MP camera for video streaming, and what frame rates are supported?

Yes, the IMX477 sensor supports high-resolution video streaming. On Jetson platforms using GStreamer or NVIDIA's multimedia API, you can achieve various resolutions and frame rates. For example, you can stream 1080p (1920x1080) at 60 FPS or 4K (3840x2160) at 30 FPS, depending on the processing load and pipeline configuration. The actual maximum frame rate at full 12MP resolution will be lower, typically around 10-15 FPS, due to the high data throughput required from the sensor.

Package Includes

  • 1 x 12MP Camera Module with M12 Lens
  • 1 x 150mm 15pin to 22pin FPC Cable
  • 1 x 150mm 22pin to 22pin FPC Cable
